I am Gull, and by this axe I rule!

Whatever name fits your fancy. Go with solid registrars like Namecheap or cloudflare.

Once you get your domain, you can use most any email provider to handle mail for that domain. Fastmail is really good. Or proton if you want the encryption.

MyRadarPro has a travel mode and works with CarPlay. You can give it your destination and it will correlate travel time to future forecast. It will tell you things like, it will be raining when you reach this point along your route.

Now this is a shower thought.

What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not?

Donald means something like “ruler of the world,” so not far off.

That’s one heck of a shower thought!

Right now, I’m using Obsidian. I think I’d like to transition to keeping docs in a wiki, but I worry that it’s part of the self-hosted infrastructure. In other words, if the wiki’s down, I no longer have the docs that I need to repair the wiki.

Is there any way to get rss feeds directly from AP/Reuters any more?

If the Russians can’t succeed with numbers, will they escalate?

Synology has the best systems of their kind. I’d go with them for pre-made solutions. Their UI is simple enough for most folks to understand.

Backups. Backups. Backups. Focus on what you can reliably do. If you can’t make a service bulletproof, then maybe it’s not ready for everyday use.

Keep good notes. Notes tell both what you did and why you did it. Keep track of what problem you’re solving or what goal you’re working toward. All of this will help when you do look for a new IT provider. Use your notes to help the business define requirements for them.
